Si,

With all of that PE she will be quite a challenge and at 1/200 there be no where to hide the errors. Looking forward to seeing this one come together.

Oooh Simon there you have a very interesting lady laying at your table. She will keep you busy for a while for sure!


I have MERIT´s 1905 version together with the PONTOS set in my stash but until now I don´t feel fit enough for this task. Therefore I will carefully watch your efforts and already took a ticket for your build

Cheers

Thomas

Ahoy Simon

Wow now this is going to be a major build of one of my favourite ships.

Cant wait to see the updates.

Cheers

Sean

Wohooo Si, looking forward to this one. Sign me up for a front row seat!

Looking forward to following along

I've often thought of getting the 1/350 kit of this one Si, with the Pontos upgrade, but now I can watch yours instead

Watching with interest Si.

Did Pontos give you a guide to what you should sand off the hull?

Is this the 1902 version of the ship or are you adapting a 1905 Pontos set to a 1902 version?

Cheers
Warren

Si,
You are a machine! Looking forward to seeing you do this one!

Si, thanks for the great shots of the moldings - I'm seriously considering adding this Mikasa to the stash!
One thing though; I wonder why kit manufacturers so often assume that the plating detail on the hull sides ends at the waterline?

Si,

You are a brave fellow removing and cutting all of those molded on pieces. That is one step I always dread is hacking and slashing to make way for new pieces.
